Unless someone has a better idea I plan on adding DoPicLib support to xc/config/cf/Library.tmpl The idea is to create static libraries of objects compiled with -fPIC(if needed) with the name template libfoo_pic.a in much the same way as bsd.lib.mk does. My current thinking is to enable DoPicLib for only those libraries that don't have DoSharedLib set, i.e. FS FontEnc GLw Phigs Xau Xdmcp Xres Xinerama Xss XvMC xf86dga xf86misc xf86rush xf86vm Although obviously DoPicLib could be set for all libraries if required. There is the option of defining StatcNeedsPicForShared (for all platforms except vax and mips), but this has the disadvantage that these X libraries(Continue reading)

Is there a reason? The XFree86 maintainer usually turn off shared libraries when the ABI and API of library is still undergoing heavy changes. This is a settings we shouldn't override even some Linux distribution vendors do so. Kind regards -- -- Matthias Scheler http://scheler.de/~matthias/

Well, unlike the xcursorgen program (which I realy consider optional), the fonts in the binary X sets should be complete. Can we acomplish that with a pkgsrc based aproach? Martin

Than somebody who understands Perl should rewrite "ucs2any.pl" as e.g.
a C program(*). Using a kludge is not the NetBSD way to solve a problem.
Kind regards
(*) Yes, I would do it. Unfortunately my knowledge about Perl is very
limited and I just don't understand the source code.

Actually it's not that hard to redo in awk (I looked about a week ago).
